Abstract
Various modalities have been used for the treatment of psoriasis, including phototherapy. The choice of psoriasis treatment is based on the characteristics of the lesions, locations and amount of involved body surface area. Narrowband ultraviolet (UV) B therapy is a widely used and highly efficient method for psoriasis. But, large areas of unaffected skin may be irradiated along with the psoriatic lesions during phototherapy. The 308-nm excimer laser is a further development of narrowband UVB and was reported to be an effective and safe treatment for localized psoriasis. We experienced an excellent effect without significant adverse reactions of 308-nm excimer laser in a 9-year-old patient with palmoplantar psoriasis who was recalcitrant to oral cyclosporine and topical calcipotriol/ betamethasone treatment.
